Macro-Micromechanical Properties of Sandy Pebble Soil of Different Coarse-Grained Content by Junfu Lu, Di Li, Xiaoqiang Xue, Shenlin Ling

“…The research results showed that the stress-strain curve of sandy pebble soil exhibited strain softening with the increase of coarse-grained content; when the confining pressure was the same, the stress peak increased and the strain when the peak was reached decreased gradually with the increase of coarse-grained content. It revealed the functional relationship between coarse-grained content and mechanical indexes of sandy pebble soil such as internal friction angle and cohesion. …”
